False. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock and so commonly cools slowly so has time to develop moderate to large crystals.

True or false granite is a sedimentary rock?

False. Granite is an igneous rock, formed from the cooling and solidification of magma deep within the Earth's crust. Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and consolidation of sediment particles.


True or false granite is a metamorphic rock?

It is false. Granite is a igneous rock that was formed from magma cooling and hardening.


Is it true that the continental crust is made of rocks such as granite?

Yes, the continental crust is primarily composed of rocks such as granite, which is a common type of intrusive igneous rock. Granite is a light-colored, coarse-grained rock that is abundant in continental crust and is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface.


Which igneous rock is composed of coarse grained crystals of quartz feldspar and mica?

Felsic igneous rocks (the lightest in color) are comprised mostly of quartz and potassium feldspar. Intermediate igneous rocks (somewhat darker than felsic) are made up of some quartz and potassium feldspar, but mostly plagioclase feldspar.


What granite made from magma that was trapped in the earth's crust. true or false?

I think you are talking about granitic intrusions. This is not a true/false question as granite takes many other forms than intrusions.


Rocks that have large grains you can easily see are described as fine grained true or false?

False. Rocks with large grains that are easily seen are described as coarse-grained, not fine-grained. Fine-grained rocks have smaller grains that are not easily visible to the naked eye.


Is it true that the size of the igneous rock depends on how quickly or slowly the magma or lava cooled?

Yes, the size of igneous rock crystals is influenced by the cooling rate of magma or lava. When magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it forms larger crystals, resulting in coarse-grained rocks like granite. Conversely, when lava cools rapidly on the surface, it forms smaller crystals, leading to fine-grained rocks like basalt. Thus, the cooling rate directly affects the texture and crystal size of the resulting igneous rock.


True or false Granite can be pink or black depending on the ratio of feldspar mica and quartz?

True. The color of granite is determined by the presence and ratio of minerals such as feldspar, mica, and quartz. Pink granite typically contains more feldspar, while black granite contains more mica and quartz.


True or false sedimentary rock can be formed from changes in igneous rock but idneous rock cannot be formed changes in the sedimentary rock?

False Sedimetary rocks can be formed from changes in igneous rock, and igneous rock can be from changes in sedimentary rock.


True or false the tree main types are igneos sedimentary and magma?

That is false. The 3 main types of rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic


True or false intrusive igneous rock forms small crystals because it cools rapidly?

True. Intrusive igneous rock, also known as plutonic rock, forms larger crystals because it cools slowly underground. Extrusive igneous rocks cool rapidly on the Earth's surface, forming smaller crystals.


Is it true or false that igneous rocks are classified by their oroigntextureshape?

False. Igneous rocks are primarily classified by their origin (intrusive or extrusive) and their mineral composition, rather than their texture or shape. Texture can be a characteristic used to further describe igneous rocks, but it is not a primary method of classification.
